How long does 1st Class parcel delivery take?

In cases such as mentioned above, 1st Class service seems like a good option. 1st Class parcels usually arrives the next working day including Saturdays. To compare, 2nd Class parcels take up to 3 working days.

Remember that you can make your 1st Class delivery safer by adding ‘recorded’ option if you are sending valuable objects. By doing so, you can count on a higher compensation cover and the recipient will have to sign a ‘confirmation of delivery’when claiming the parcel.

Can’t wait to the next day? There is a solution. You can speed up the delivery by choosing the ‘same day’ option. The name is rather self-explanatory: if you send your parcel in the morning, it should reach the recipient the same day in the afternoon.

Good news is that prices don’t depend on the distance, which means that you can send your parcel even to the outskirts of U.K. with no additional fee.
